"Senators To Pentagon: Add Nondiscrimination Protections For Gays, Lesbians Now"
A letter sent to the defense secretary signed by 22 democratic and one republican senator asking that action be taken to add nondiscrimination protections for gays and lesbians. The letter strongly urged defense secretary Carter to update the equal employment opportunity in all service branches to“prevent discrimination, harassment, or intimidation of service members based on sexual orientation.”
This relates to our government class because it discusses the federal government's rules and regulations, it also discusses advancements in political equality. I completely support this potential protection. I think it's past time for these measures to be taken but i feel they should expand it to cover LGBTQ+ instead of just gays and lesbians.
